It’s funny, since going Low Carb to manage my diabetes, one of my favourite Saturday night treats is a bowl of berries smothered in the richest double cream. Soo soo delicious.
Berries + Cream
Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls berries
- fresh cream preferably double cream!
Instructions
-
Wash and dry berries and arrange in 2 pretty bowls. Serve with cream passed separately for everyone to add their own.
Variations
dairy-free – serve with coconut cream, cashew cream (soak cashews in water for 6 hours, drain and whizz in a high powered blender until smooth), coconut yoghurt or a dollop of almond butter.
more decadent – serve with vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey or some grated dark chocolate.
crunchy – serve with toasted nuts such as sliced almonds or chopped pistachios or cashews.
other flavours – try a sprinkle of cinnamon, some ground cardamom (a little goes a long way), or a splash of vanilla extract.
paleo (grain, legume & dairy-free) – use coconut cream, coconut yoghurt or sorbet.
Waste Avoidance
berries – freeze them.
cream – unopened cartons will generally keep in the fridge for another week. If you need to store for longer, just pop in the freezer in a sealed container. Or freeze in icecube trays so you can easily defrost just what you need.
